African trypanosomiasis, otherwise known as sleeping sickness in humans and 'Nagana' in cattle, is a disease that is resurgent in Africa. Research on the disease suggests that the development of a vaccine is still far away; even existing drugs are becoming ineffective on account of the emergence of drug-resistant trypanosomes. All this contributes to heavy economic losses and a sociopolitical crisis in the continent, thus underscoring the pressure to intensify research for inexpensive, less toxic and affordable trypanocides. This review discusses the current treatment of trypanosomiasis and the progress made towards the effective control of trypanosomiasis.
